A gas cylinder is filled with 4.00 moles of oxygen gas at 300.0 K. The piston is compressed to yield a pressure of 400.0 kPa. What is the volume inside the cylinder?

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{24.9 L}}[/tex]

Explanation:

This looks like a case where we can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

pV = nRT

Data:

p = 400.0 kPa

n = 4.00 mol

R = 8.314 kPa·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 300.0 K

Calculations:

400.0 × V = 4.00 × 8.314 × 300.0

  400.0V =  9977

            V = 24.9 L
